lsPEeIAL TO THE APPEAL,I

thOrizlng the Kansas Oily railroad to
build bridge across the M ssissippi
at Memphis. In this way the Objec.
tionshle clause respt ctiug the charter
Of 1885 will be discarded, and Mr.. Zach
Tay lor thinks there will be no Difficult
ty in passing the bill should an oppor-
tunity occur for bringing it before the
House. All TIE memosI s OF the com
mittee are in favor Of he bill.
The vote which was taken today
upon
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL
in the House was not, as many sup
pose uOon the 3 air bill, nor upon the
oil Introduced by Willis, which was
practically the same as that of Mr..
Blair, hut upon the bill reported by
the Committee on Labor, which is an
abstract of that introduced by Mr..
Caldwell, and is bssed upon the came
idea of devotng the proceeds from
the sale of pubic lands for the next
ten years to form q school fund. Its
only point of difference lies in the
fact that the States are not 30 strictly
protected from Federal interference
in the committees bill as they are in
that of Mr.. Caldwell's.
MIR. Caldwell voted today for the
bill, but will endeavor to have his
own subs tituted. The vote in the
House shows that the bill has many
friends in that body, and Daniels and
Willis, its champions, are consequent.
ly quits elated. They see, however,
the dangers besett the bill from
the opposition, witch is strong
enough to adopt fiibusterng tactics
tomorrow, when another boar will bs
devoted to its consideration. TIE
present will BIZ the last chance OF the
bill this session, and its two champions
are tonight in conference to improve
the opportunity as much So possible.
The action of the
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON PENSIONS
in defeating the bills for pensioning
Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair il generally
commended here. The fate of SUCH
bills has never heretofore been de-
cided on the merit OF the case, but
has always been influenced by ssLti.
mentality.
The somewhat celebrated
KING-JoNEs FEUD
was reopeued afresh tonight. Con.
gresham ]. Floyd King returned to
this city two days ago, and CutAbsrt
Jones has been hunting him ever
since. This evening Jones went to
barber shop and unexpectedly found
his foe there. He Immediately went
up to him, and calling upon a son of
Senator Jones OF Nevada, to be witness
of what he said, he scored King and
bis ancestry in very supplementary
language. He declared the best par;
of King wa, the niger" blood that
flowed in his veins, aud made few
other urc supplementary remarks Of
he came nature. Contrary to Jones's
hopes and expectations, King made
no reply, and Jones might as well
have been talking to post. He still
hops, however, that he may be given
a chance TO fight the Louisia MAN. He
is shortly going TO open lively hositili-
ties on Senator Gibson, Kings friend
and supporter.
THE PRESIDENT SENDS A MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS-
The President sent the following
mes age to Congress today:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
AS matter of national interest ard
one folely within the discretion and
control Of Congress, transmit the &C.
compapyiDg n emorial of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Sub. C1nstitu-
tional Centennial Commi sion, propos-
ing TO celebrate the 18th of Septem.
Der, 1885,, in the city OF Philadelphia,
as the day upon which and where the
convention that framed the Federal
Constitution concluded their lab1rs
and submitted the result for rstifica.
ton to the thiitsen States then com.
posing the United States. The epoch
was one of the deepest interest, and
the events well worthy of the COM
memoration. l am aware that az each
STATE acted independently in giving its
adhesion to the new constitution the
dates and anniversaries of their sev-
eral rat ficatioDs are not coincident.
Some action looking TO a national tx
preston in relation to the cele-
bration OF the close OF the first
century Of popular government
under q written constitution has
already been suggested, ard while
stating the great interest l share in
the renewed examination by the
American people of the historical
foundation OF their government, do
not feel warranted in discriminating
in favor of or against the propositions
to select one day or place in prefer
ence to all others, aud therefore con-
tent myself with conveying TO Con-
gress these expressions OF popular
feeling and interest upon the subject,
hoping that IN spirit OF patriotic CO.
operation, rather than OF local compe-
tjtion, fitting measures may be en-
acted by Congress which will give the
smplest opportunity all over these
United States for the NANTES alton OF
the affection and confidence OF a free
and mighty nation in the institutions
of q government of which they are the
for innate inheritors, and under which
unexsmpled prosperity has been en-
j1yed by all classes aud conditions in
our social system.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, January Is, 1887.
NEARLY ALL THE RAscALs TURNED OUT.
The close of President Cleveland's
second year OF Office is going 10 find
most of the "rascals" turned out. The
idea that they are being retained in
gleAt numbers is mistaken one. The
moving machine is working steadily,
and the "swath" which it cuts is
good deal wider and cleaner than is
generally supposed. True, tie gov.
eminent clerks here have, good
many Of them, bren kept in position,
but Whist are they, compared With he
army that has been removed and s
be ng removed. Go to the Post flee
Department any day, and you ere
liable to see list # perhaps hun
dred appointments of postmast-
els, all new, and, OF course,
ell Democrats. Take walk
through the departments here snd

ions and all the important places, snd
